Well, thanx for the hint with opencms-inportexport.xml.
It all works fine now for me. No /opencms/... anymore in the url. :)
After installing opencms normally, I have changed the opencms webapps folder 
name to ROOT (and changed the name of the war file lying there too).
And I have made all this Tomcat and Apache and OpenCms adjustments mentioned 
in my previous post.
Than I removed this ${CONTEXT_NAME} and ${SERVLET_NAME} in the 
rfs-prefix, vfs-prefix and exporturl tag.
Well, I can use the whole system as before and all the links are generated 
without "/opencms..."

But I use Tomcat 5... on a linux box. Perhaps Tomcat 5 behaves different?

Well, general question. Is there any neccessity for using mod_jk? I think this 
connector brings the performance down a little bit.

Kind regards, Bernd Wolfsegger
